Screen Rotate Widget?? - Android Apps and Games

Is there a widget or a way to set the long hold of a hard button to rotate the screen between portrait and landscape? My g sensor is struggling when i try to rotate the screen. I have searched high and low and i cant seem to find anything.

Using Gyrator???

I want to use Gyrator to automatically rotate TomTom into landscape mode irrelevant of the phones orientation.
the reason is I use the phone on my motorbike and it sits flat. Also with the cornering it ends up rotating all the time.
How do I do that?
Currently I have a new event called TomTom and the flag is set to 0. No orientation and no Stylus.
MunichWinClass
No Orientation
No Stylus
Actions. Rotate Screen
How do I get it to trigger just on seeing the app and to only lock it into the Landscape position?
Sort of solution
I have adjusted it so it actions on orientation and it only rotates in Landscape. Once rotated it won't rotate back out.
eg
TomTom : 1
MunichWinClass
Landscape
No Stylus settings selected
Actions. Rotate Screen
Would be nice to have it trigger on application startup detect??

Auto Rotate Home Screen

Hey everyone. I was looking around to try to find out how to get the Sense 4 home screens (and lock screen) to rotate and, while failing to find a setting to do it, found this.
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
When you launch the app, long press "Auto" and it will run a background service to auto rotate the screen. Note that hitting "Landscape" made it rotate so the bottom of the screen faced the volume keys and would not rotate the other way (at least that's how it is for me).

Auto Rotate Responsiveness

Is anyone having issues with the responsiveness of Auto Rotate?
At times, apps won't rotate according to my phone's orientation.
It feels worse when using split screen where sometimes it works when I rotate the phone to the left, but it won't flip when I rotate to the right.
I have tried shaking the phone after rotating.
Turn the phone upside down and rotate it to the orientation I want. (sometimes it works this way)
Worst experience is when I am using the phone in landscape mode while driving with GPS app, an incoming call will rotate the phone back to the normal position. (I use bluetooth headset to answer call)
After the call, when the GPS apps is back up, it stays portrait position and it won't rotate back to landscape.
It is dangerous for me to rotate the phone again while driving.
Want to know if others experiencing the same.
I don't have this issue when I was using Oneplus One or Mi A1.
Same problem..

Camera question

Please get me out of my misery. I’m probably doing something wrong but whenever I take a photo or video facing down towards the floor or ceiling, holding the phone landscape, viewing the result shows portrait and I have to edit to flip it landscape. Any tips for me?
Best regaeds,

Do you have your phone screen rotation locked to portait?
If not, you have to rotate your phone landscape facing straight on forward until the camera UI rotates.
If you're shooting weird angles, consider locking the auto rotate to landscape because the camera UI will rotate to the accelerometers readings.

Thanks for your reply. Auto rotate is enabled in the dropdown menu (blue) so I assume it's not locked to portrate. All pictures taken landscape facing forward are fine when viewed in gallery holding the phone landscape. It only happens holding the phone landscape downward, like taking photo of something on the ground or table. When such photos are taken, they appear in portrate when viewed holding phone in landscape.
Regards,
